LumiVera Guides

A gentle introduction to light-based self-care

Real results, without the pressure to become someone else.

These guides exist for those moments when curiosity arises — when you want to understand the tools behind LumiVera’s rituals a little more deeply.

Not through complexity or technical language,
but through simple, grounded explanations that respect both the body and the nervous system.

This is not about optimizing.
It’s about orienting.

Understanding LED Light Therapy

What is LED light therapy?

LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support the skin and nervous system through gentle, non-invasive exposure.

Unlike harsh light or screens, therapeutic LED light is designed to be:

  • soft
  • steady
  • and absorbed by the body rather than resisted

Different colors of light interact with the skin at different depths, which is why LED has become a common tool in dermatology clinics, wellness spaces, and at-home rituals alike.

How different LED colors are used

Different wavelengths of light interact with the skin in different ways.
Each color supports a slightly different intention — not as a miracle, but as a gentle nudge to the body’s natural processes.

Red light

Often used to support:

  • collagen production
  • skin tone and elasticity
  • circulation and cellular activity

Red light is the most commonly studied wavelength in light therapy.
It’s associated with a more rested, revitalized appearance over time, especially when used consistently.

Blue light

Often used to support:

  • blemish-prone or congested skin
  • surface bacteria reduction
  • calming visible inflammation

Blue light is typically chosen when the skin feels reactive, overwhelmed, or prone to breakouts.

Purple light

A combination of red and blue wavelengths, often used to:

  • balance skin tone
  • support both calming and renewal
  • gently tighten and refine appearance

Purple light is often described as a middle ground — for harmonized skin support

A gentle truth about LED results

LED light therapy works best when:

  • used regularly
  • paired with rest and low stimulation
  • approached as a long-term ritual

The changes are usually  cumulative, and natural-looking — not dramatic or instant.

What does a session feel like?

Most sessions involve sitting or lying comfortably in front of a soft light source for 10–20 minutes.

There is no pain, no stimulation.
Just a steady glow that slowly becomes part of the environment.

People often notice:

  • a sense of calm
  • wellbeing without intensity
  • a quieter mental state
  • skin that feels more rested over time

What LED light is not

LED light therapy is not:

  • a miracle cure
  • a replacement for medical care
  • an instant transformation

It works best when used as part of a consistent, gentle ritual, not as a solution to fix something.

Using LED light at home

At home, LED is most supportive when:

  • used in low-stimulation environments
  • paired with rest, breath, or quiet activities
  • kept at a comfortable distance
  • used consistently rather than intensely

Think of it less as a device,
and more as atmosphere made visible.

Understanding Microcurrent

What is microcurrent?

Microcurrent uses very low-level electrical currents — similar to the body’s own natural signals — to gently stimulate the muscles beneath the skin.

It has been used in physical therapy and facial treatments for decades, and is often described as a form of passive muscle activation.

The current is extremely subtle, which is why it’s called micro.

How does it support the skin?

Microcurrent gently stimulates the muscles beneath the skin using very low electrical currents — levels that mirror the body’s own electrical rhythms.

It’s often used to support:

  • facial muscle tone
  • skin firmness
  • a more lifted, rested appearance over time
  • circulation and improved texture

Used consistently — and gently — microcurrent can contribute to a subtle sense of strength and contour, without tension or aggressive stimulation.

What does microcurrent feel like?

Most people experience:

  • a light tingling
  • a mild pulsing sensation
  • or a feeling of gentle movement under the skin

It should never feel painful or intense.

If it does, the setting is too high.

What microcurrent is not

Microcurrent is not:

  • dramatic lifting
  • aggressive stimulation
  • a substitute for surgery or clinical treatments

It’s closer to:

quiet reactivation than  instant visible correction.

Its effect is gradual and works best with regular, slow use.

Using microcurrent at home

Microcurrent rituals are most supportive when:

  • done on clean, hydrated skin
  • paired with a water-based serum or gel
  • performed slowly, without rushing
  • used 3–5 times per week rather than sporadically

It works best when used slowly and regularly, as part of a ritual that combines visible care with physical touch.

A gentle note

Both LED and microcurrent work best when approached the same way LumiVera approaches everything:

with consistency, softness, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms.

These tools are here to support you — quietly, over time.
